• High-level visibility – Collaborate directly with executive leadership and hold a pivotal position within the company

• True ownership – You will be the primary point of contact for all accounting matters at this location

• Managing all accounting functions for the facility

• Ensuring accuracy in financial reporting including P&L, balance sheet, and general ledger

• Designing and implementing internal controls and accounting procedures

• Leading month-end close and reconciliation activities

• A Senior Accountant looking to advance into a leadership position

• An individual who enjoys building, enhancing, and taking initiative

• A professional who excels in a dynamic and growing environment

• Target start period: Summer to early Fall

• Opportunity to come on board early and contribute to shaping operations before full-scale ramp-up

This position is not about stepping into an existing framework.

It’s about building, owning, and growing that framework alongside the business.

If this aligns with the kind of opportunity you are seeking, it’s worth exploring further.
